Scarborough Beach State Park, Point Judith, R.I.

You'll hear the waves before you see them at this Atlantic Ocean haven. When the water comes into view, little Rhody lives up to the Ocean State nickname. The sandy landscape changes daily because of the waves here.

How to get there: The RIPTA Beach Bus to South County every day from late June to mid August.
